Multi-band receiver delivers centimetre-level accuracy
u-blox has announced the ZED-F9Pmulti-band GNSS module with integrated multi-band Real Time Kinematics (RTK) technology for machine control, ground robotic vehicles, and high precision unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) applications. The ZED‑F9P measures only 22x17x2.4mm and uses technology from the recently announced u‑blox F9 platform to deliver robust high precision positioning performance in seconds.
Time is ticking for chipset manufacturers to meet IoT forecasts
IoT will generate revenues of up to $11trn by 2025, according to the McKinsey Global Institute with some experts predicting there will be more than 26 billion devices connecting to the Internet of Things (IoT) by 2020.On top of the McKinsey forecast is anotherfrom market research company IHS Markit, which the firm claims that more than75 billionsmart devices will be in use by 2025. That's a 400% increase over the roughly 15 billion devices in use...
An alternative for centimetre level positioning accuracy
Within the past 15 years, standard precision GPS technology has found its way into countless devices you probably own. Your smartphone, your car navigation system, and your smart watch all use it to tell you where you are to within a few meters. Mostly, that’s been good enough, and for many use cases, higher accuracy would simply not have been affordable. The high cost of centimetre‑level positioning technology has limited its use to prof...
Dual-mode Bluetooth module features strong security for the IIoT
Thanks to its built-insecure boot and wide temperature ranges, thenew NINA-B2 dual-mode Bluetooth 4.2 stand-alone module from u-blox enables IIoT applications.Pre-flashed with u-blox connectivity software which supports many common use cases such as Beacon, GATT client, GATT server, and serial port, NINA-B2 is configured easily using AT commands over UART, without requiring deep knowledge of the Bluetooth protocol.
u-blox unveils its new brand
Global provider of wireless and positioning technologies,u-blox, has announced the launch of its new brand. According to u-blox, the new corporate identity reinforces its commitment to technological innovation and its unique position in the market, while remaining the same at the core.
A discussion on makers with Arduino’s Massimo Banzi
“It’s worth following the maker movement as it evolves,” said Massimo Banzi. As co‑founder ofArduino, Banzi knows what he is talking about. He’s been following the community for soon 15 years, and has been closely involved in developing much of the open source technology they use to power their projects.
Bluetooth 5 module is tailored to applications for the IIoT
u-blox has announced the ANNA-B1 Bluetooth 5 module for industrial applications. Its ultra-compact module design and industrial operating temperature range make it suitable for applications indesigns requiring high speed Bluetooth connectivity. ANNA‑B1 comes certified for markets off the shelf.Essentially, the new ANNA-B1 is a miniaturised variant of the meanwhile well-established u‑blox NINA‑B1 Bluetooth low energy module, packed as a SiP ...
Drone surveying solution uses positioning technology
u-blox has announced that Japan-based Aerosense has commercialised its AEROBO Marker solution for drone surveying using the u‑blox NEO‑M8T timing module. Conceived to compute absolute time to within 20ns using incoming GNSS signals, the NEO-M8T lets users access RAW GNSS data output, making it attractive for positioning applications that rely on post-processing GNSS data to enhance location accuracy.
Tracking your assets wherever they go
Managing a fleet of vehicles, or even a complex supply chain, if you know where your cars, goods, or other assets are it won’t only give you tremendous peace of mind, it can also improve your bottom line.For one, you’re much less likely to lose tracked assets. But beyond that, understanding exactly how they are used, how long they stand idle, and when precisely they move from one place to another can help you streamline your operation...
LTE cellular solution for future proofing IoT
Particle has announced the release of its LTE-enabled, cellular E Series IoT module. This all-in-one cellular solution is the first commercially available LTE hardware module for IoT product creators to future proof their devices along retiring 2G and 3G networks. Particle’s LTE module includes built-in cloud and SIM support, and is certified for the newly available LTE networks designed just for IoT.
